Winemaker Notes
The Riesling grape enjoys ideal growing conditions in the slate soil and mild climate of the steep, sun drenched slopes of the Middle Mosel Valley. After a long, continuous vegetation, J.J. Prum provides for a careful selection and vinification. The resulting wines have an outstanding longevity. They are rich in taste with a fresh, fruity, delicate flavor.

James Suckling
The most exotic and succulent of the 2015 Auslese Gold Caps from J.J., but also blessed with dazzling finesse and brilliance that you rarely encounter in sweet wines of any kind. What a finish! Best from 2020 and almost limitless aging potential.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese Gold Capsule (AP 20) is still pretty reductive and flinty on the nose and needs a lot of aeration. Sweet and concentrated, with a fine botrytis and grapefruit flavor, this Riesling has tight structure, mouth-watering fruit and good acidity. There is also an endless flow of salts and stones. This is a very promising Auslese, whose structure and mineral expression give the wine an almost dry taste. This is great Riesling to be served no earlier than 2027.

Wine Spectator
Offering apricot, peach and Honeycrisp apple flavors accented by floral and mineral notes, this rich and expansive Riesling has lively acidity and impeccable balance, with a long, spicy finish. Best from 2020 through 2036.
